Have you lost any pieces of your mucus plug yet?

Question

I am about 35 weeks and lost a piece of mucus plug today.  Has anyone else lost some already?  And did you have other signs or go into preterm labor?  I know they can regenerate for some people, but I started losing mine at 35 weeks with my last pregnancy and doctors confirmed it was because I was dilating early (labor started at 37 weeks + 4 days). I am hoping this baby will stay put until full term so losing some of the mucus plug early again is making me nervous!

Answer

I’ve been having Braxton Hicks this whole pregnancy. Wednesday I had a ultrasound early in the morning after the ultrasound I felt normal came home to take a nap late in the afternoon I woke up to use the restroom and had bits of mucus come out. I was really half asleep though so I didn’t think anything of it. I started hurting as soon as I laid down, lots of pressure and tightening. So I thought about it. Got up to pee and see if I what I saw was actually mucus and sure enough it was still coming out. So I laid down for a while and kept hurting with discomforts. I went to get checked out at L&D just in case when I was hooked up to the monitors they saw the contractions and also my uterus was not settled. I did have to get shots and stay for a bit to be watched. I was 31+4 at the time.

Answer

Not everyone loses their mucus plug before labor.

Answer

I had a little bit of jelly cm about a week ago and wondered if I would start to lose it but nothing else happened after. Apparently it doesn’t mean that labour is close so fingers crossed you will be good.
